    Picked mine up today at my local record store. They still had a few left. They also had one 12” alive. Got that too.

    Both LPs of my clear version were flat as a board and sounded good.

    Picked one up for my brother (I don't collect vinyl myself) in Wellington easy. Was the only one at the JB in the mall I went to. Seemed like noone paid attention ha. They had eight IIRC.
    How much were they in NZ?  My weekends are tied up with sport and family stuff so I barely get to a store anymore.
    I couldn't find many online but the ones I saw were $90-$95! I bought the 10C gold and even with shipping it will come in cheaper than that 
    yeah me too.

    I haven't heard so much complaining and  about a $40 record...EVER.  I have bought hundreds of records over the years through various sources and 9/10 they arrive in the condition that I expect them to be in.  I have never bitched about the splotches, the color, the label, the size of the hole.  Why?  Because it's never been an issue.  Sure I've had the odd album show up warped, but I just send it back and get a new one.  No crying involved.  Also, this whole gold vs black vs silver vs clear.  Dumb.  Buy it and move on.  Leave the rest for the people that initially missed out.  Stop buying the market out in hopes of getting that ONE special version that gets you off.  Hearing "This band owes is better quality reissues".  The fuck.  They owe US nothing.  Just be thankful that your "favorite" band releases these and move on.  There's more important things to worry about in life than which country's pressing you have.

    Problem is most of the time RSD releases are no returns, and normally they are sold out anyway

    quality becomes more of an issue when you buy it and you are stuck with it 

    Most records come warped these days so that is something I think more people should be able to fix themselves as it’s not hard and it happens all the time but then again it’s a tough value proposition to expect people to spend money on something that doesn’t work correctly to begin with.

    I always find it interesting that people who go on a rant about people complaining don’t realize they are themselves complaining.

    My reason for sharing, and assume the same for others is not to complain (I certainly don’t expect 10C to do anything about it and why should they??), but to share my experience with everyone here. Many of us here bought this record and some may still be thinking about doing so since so many were pressed - but I wouldn’t recommend it given the chance of getting something poor seems pretty high. If I spend $40 ($32 in my case) on a record I kind of want to be able to play it and feel comfortable that if I can’t because of an issue that a replacement will have a good chance of being better. And if someone in charge of pressing these is listening maybe next time they’ll think harder about where they go to order them.  

    Funny thing is my biggest issue is with the huge amount of waste - how many of these 20600 (times 2!) records are going to be returned and then binned due to the issues we are all experiencing? Crazy.

    And I have bought hundreds of records, often on the basis of what people say are good (or otherwise) pressings.

    After I found out a gold version was available the collector part of me had to choose that over gold.  Lol

    Rough Trade has the EU 2,000 limited press for $61 US shipped. $20 more for a better pressing vs. United Plant Pressing may be worth it to some.

    I’ll be curious to see a comparison between the two. 

    For anyone who thinks it won’t matter, there is a huge difference in RHCP Unlimited Love pressed in Germany Vs the Canadian pressing. The German one sounds clearly better

    I was at Newbury Comics at Roosevelt Field mall in Long Island yesterday and they had 18 copies of Live on 2 Legs and 6 Sweet Relief, which was pretty astonishing.

    No way there was only an edition of 2000 for the Europe edition. Many online record stores in the UK are still taking orders.

    If you got the RSD clear pressing. Make sure you listen thoroughly. This isn’t a great pressing. 

    My side 4 has a lot of pops and fuzz that are from the pressing.

    So anyone know where the Australian copies were pressed?

    Are we sure ALL clear US pressings are from United? I just got home from a trip and mine definitely does not have a (U), and part of the runout contains MRP which I believe is Memphis Record Pressing? I haven't listened yet, because I prefer to clean first and I'm out of distilled water. I did run them on my table and they're mostly flat, minimal warp.

    Yea, that is definitely Memphis Record Pressing. I guess since they pressed so many of these, they had to use multiple plants.
  • pjpitt89pjpitt89 Posts: 1,848
    Yes, Discogs lists NRP, which I believe is Nashville Record Productions, then likely pressed at United. Mine is like yours, MRP 3554/a bunch of numbers. Side A has a had scratched "#11" and B has "#10".

    The MRP copies were probably cut at GZ and plates sent to Memphis. Since GZ owns MRP. The United were cut at NRP in Nashville and pressed at United in Nashville.

    Interesting that they had 3 different locations cut plates.

    If anyone has an extra MRP pressing, let me know.
